Transportation engineers have MANY things to think about when it comes to designing transportation. But two main factors they have to consider are actually getting transportation to move AND making sure that passengers are moved safely!
Using deflating balloons as a force, fourth graders designed transportation devices to sail along a fish line track. While many designs were unsuccessful, the fourth graders' failures are leading them to think about how they will design their own Maglev trains next. They'll be combining their knowledge or magnetism, forces, and safety to carry passengers along a magnetic track!
